2007 GMC YUKON. INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. CHROME PLATING HAS SEPARATED FROM THE TOP WHERE HANDLE IS GRABBED. HANDLES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND CARE IS NEEDED WHEN OPENING DOOR OTHERWISE INJURY CAN AND HAS OCCURRED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS BROKEN AND WHENEVER THE DOOR WAS OPENED THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED CUTS AND BRUISES ALL OVER THEIR HANDS. THE DOOR HANDLE ALSO CUT THE PASSENGERS HAND WHEN THEY ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THEY WOULD REPLACE THE DOOR HANDLE AT HER EXPENSE FOR THE LABOR COST OF $139. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND SHE WAS NOT GETTING A FAVORABLE ANSWER FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT SHE SPOKE WITH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,473.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, HEARD A CLICKING/CRACKING/POPPING NOISE, SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF SMOKE AND BURNING SMELL FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX AREA. AT THE SAME TIME THE WIDOWS, MIRROR, AND ELECTRIC LOCKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT OPERATE. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF. I STARTED LOOKING DOWN UNDER THE GLOVE BOX AREA AND COULD STILL SMELL A VERY STRONG BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THAT AREA. ALSO THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC OBSERVED THE SAME BURNING SMELL CONDITIONS AND REMOVED THE WIRE BOX UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX PASSENGER DOOR AREA. HE OBSERVED THAT ALL THE WIRES WERE BURNT, TO INCLUDE THE METAL PLATE THAT WAS BURNT AND CHARRED FROM AN APPARENT ELECTRICAL FIRE. (PICTURES WERE TAKEN OF THE AREA TO INCLUDE THE BURNT WIRES AND CHARRED METAL) THE MECHANIC STATED THAT WE WERE VERY LUCKY THE WHOLE CAR DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE AND BURN UP. HE SHOWED ME THE DAMAGE AND STATED THAT WHERE THE WIRES RUN THROUGH A SMALL HOLE IN A METAL PLATE APPEARED TO RUB THROUGH THE WIRES CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT AND ACTUALLY BURN THE WIRES AND METAL PLATE. HE FURTHER STATED THAT A RUBBER WASHER OR USING RUBBER INSTEAD OF METAL MIGHT HAVE PREVENTED THE BURNING/FIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON. WHILE TRAVELING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A LOUD EXPLOSION FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. HE FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR HAD FRACTURED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE MIRROR WAS REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN SIX MONTHS WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 5 MPH. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MIRROR A SECOND TIME. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY FOR A SECOND OPINION WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED INTERNALLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

SAME EXACT ISSUE AS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DESCRIBED OCCURS WITH MY 2007 GMC YUKON SLT. RPMS INCREASE AND VEHICLE LUNGES AS I AM PULLING INTO THE GARAGE AND ALSO SLOWING DOWN AT STOP SIGNS GOING NO MORE THAN A FEW MPHS TO TRY TO COME TO A STOP. I NEED TO QUICKLY APPLY THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP/SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2007 GMC YUKON'S CHROME INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE PEELING. A CO-WORKER OF MINE AND GIRLFRIEND WERE CUT BY THE PEELING PLASTIC. BOTH CUTS WERE DEEPER THAN YOUR AVERAGE PAPER CUT AND WAS VERY PAINFUL. THIS WAS ON THE PASSENGER DOOR, THEN I WAS CUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WEEKS LATER. GMC WOULD NOT REPLACE AS MY MILEAGE IS OUT OF WARRANT AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE $340 TO REPLACE!! EXTREMELY COSTLY AND FRUSTRATING FOR A DANGEROUS NON-REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 GMC YUKON AND BOTH INSIDE DOOR HANDLES (FRONT AND PASSENGER) HAVE SPLIT AT THE UPPER SEAM OF HANDLE. THIS CAUSED ME TO CUT MY HAND ON ONE OCCASION DUE TO THE DRIVER SIDE HANDLE. I HAVE SINCE PLACED DUCT TAPE OVER BOTH HANDLES WHERE THE SEAMS HAVE SPLIT, SO THAT NOBODY WILL GET CUT LEAVING THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO A DEALER. *TR
